I see a lot of posts about our attacking players and huntington/davies etc - all deserved, but I also think Maxwell deserves a mention. It helps the defence when they know they have a keeper who commands his area so well. Didn't have many shots to save but caught and claimed absolutely everything last night. Cardiff had some giants in their team too! We have done well with keepers over the years but he is 2nd behind pickford for me. Long may his performances continue.
 
Been excellent for the majority of his time here, got a bit of stick at the back end of last season which I don't think was warranted.

His distribution is criticised but it's very good on the whole. A great shot stopper as well.
 
7 games in and already 5 clean sheets. The 2 goals conceded are a disputed penalty and an unlucky goal v Barnsley when Fisher attempted to clear but the ball hit An opponent and went into the net. Maxwell is a good keeper.
 
Just where is Declan Rudd then, or what has happened to his recovery? He played in the friendly last week I think, so he must be at match level, but Hudson is still the sub goalkeeper. Maybe it's a case of letting Hudson have as much match day experience as possible before bringing rudd back into the fold. Unless I've missed an announcement, there doesn't seem to be much coming out of the club regarding Rudd.

Neil said he'd be back after the international break.

Which one? October? November? February?

Rudd Is Injured again

Neil said Darnell Fisher came off with a tight groin last night, being assessed. Rudd has suffered a recurrence of his thigh injury.

Rudds continuing injury problems have ensured that Maxwell is in the driving seat for the keepers jersey. I've seen nothing so far this season to indicate that he will lose it. At the end of the day, we have a very good goalkeeper and a competent replacement should his form dip or he gets injured. Happy days

I was very critical of Maxwell towards the end of last season when goals were going in past him far too easily.However I have to say that this season he has been excellent between the sticks & long may it continue.
I much prefer to give a player praise than stick so well done Chris for turning it around.

Hasn't turned anything around, your criticism was misplaced. I commented at the time regarding the scapegoat mentality shown by some. Even with the dreadful performance of the boys in front of him at the end of last season maxwell still managed a 70% save rate higher than the Liverpool and Wales number two playing for Huddersfield last season.

I know he's injured but perhaps signing Rudd in the summer has given Maxwell something to think about, and he's responded by pushing himself a bit more and is a little focused - can't remember which game it was last season but he seemed more concerned with having a bit of banter with the fans, and we duly conceded. Last night as soon as we scored, he was emphasising the need to focus and concentrate.

The last thing a goalkeeper needs is to have no competition because form quickly declines (Lonergan certainly suffered for that when he was here) so it'll do Maxwell no harm to have Hudson and Rudd breathing down his neck, since Lindegaard last season was a complete waste of time, effort and money (congratulations to Burnley on their new signing btw 🙂 )

I still believe Rudd will be our number one keeper if he gets fit and AN gives him a chance. Hudson is the one suffering because he needs to go out on loan and gain experience
